Guilfoyle Says ‘Thank You’ To The Fans

During last night’s season 14 finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, “Dead in His Tracks”, there was a live tweet session featuring Paul Guilfoyle (Jim Brass), Executive Producer and episode writer Andrew Dettmann, Producer and director Alec Smight, and guest star Gina Holden. You can find some tweets and photos after the jump, along with a farewell video from Guilfoyle.

As CSI Files previously reported, “Dead in His Tracks” marks the final episode for Guilfoyle, who will not return for season 15 in the fall. Here are a portion of his tweets from last night (read all of his comments on the @CSIcast Twitter account):
